Alex Hanna - Octer 8, 2001
Dear Technology Associates:
My name is Alex Hanna, I am a pilot at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University. I often fly at night
which, by law, I am required to carry a flashlight. I also need light to preflight the aircraft (which
usually takes 20 to 30 minuets) to be sure it is safe to fly. Before I purchased your eternaLight, I
had to replace my mini-Mag's batteries once a week and the light was never really good enough to
see all I needed to. eternaLight took care of that problem, but the true test came about a year ago. I
was returning home from a 2 hour cross-country flight when out of nowhere the cabin and panel
lights cut out. (Later found out there was a short in the lighting systems) I reached for my Mini-mag,
which I still carried because I didn't know how well the eternaLight would be too bright in the cabin.
The Mini-Mag was, not surprisingly, dead. So, I went for the eternaLight. At first the light was a little
too bright, so it was a good thing that it had a dimming function. To make a long story short,
eternaLight Saved my life and it was WELL worth the money I paid for it. If you are a pilot, you
might as well add the eternaLight to your equipment list because it is an absolute MUST HAVE!
Thanks Technology Associates, and eternaLight!
Sincerely,
Alex Hanna

To tell you a little more about what happened. This happened while I was in training to be a pilot. A
pilot that flew at the same airport that I did offered to take me on a cross country flight. We knew we
were going to be coming back at night and I told him that I had two flashlights so he did not to bring
his. And then we had the lighting failure. Now as for the actual flight records, because I could not
log what is call Pilot In Command time, nor could I log training time (I wasn't a pilot yet, and he
wasn't my instructor) I didn't keep a record of the flight, or the problem. I also do not know where the
records of the flight are, since I moved to Florida. But I assure you it did happen. if you need any
other verification information just call or E-mail me again with your request.
Thanks for taking the time to write back and for thinking of using what I wrote.
Sincerely,
Alex Hanna
